Google has purchased Green Throttle Games

4.5
Green Throttle Games closed near the end of 2013 but Google has not released that they have purchased the "parts and labor" portion of the developer. This developer was responsible for development of the Atlas controller and Arena app for Android, they enable any Android device to convert itself to a game console when connected to any HDTV. While two of the co-founders of Green Throttle Games are confirmed to be making the jump to Google, notable co-founder Charles Huang may have not opted to go forward personally with Google but it is clear he will retain his rights over the developer's business.

Looking forward to seeing what Google can do with this new project of its. Hopefully it'll turn out good unlike some other things they've invested in.

Wow it seems like google is buying everything these days. It may be a good investment though on googles end.
And i am sure the Owner of green throttle is fairly set, money wise.

Awkward moment when you post a news reply in the wrong article...

Anyways, this is really cool imo, if they come out with controllers like scuffs they will have some serious competition.

Why 18 million? Seems like a bit much for a gaming news company... oh well, they are great anyways.
